591 Farewell Kiss (1/2)

Finally reaching the destination, Xiu alighted the car and wanted to stretch her body but was greeted by such cold gust of wind that she ended up hugging her body.

”Ssss... It's cold. Cold. Very cold!!!”

Gigi had also followed her out as she said, ”It's not that cold though.”

Xiu gave her a strange look as she said, ”Cold people like you can't feel it. I'm a warm person! I can't deal with this much coldness!”

”Oh.” That was all Gigi could say in reply but it wasn't like Xiu was looking for any argument right now since even her teeth had started chattering. When Gigi noticed Xiu rubbing her arms even though she was wearing a warm coat, she frowned. ”Are you really that cold?”

”Why would I joke about this?”

Gigi looked at the sun that had yet to set in the horizon as she added, ”But it's gonna be a lot colder once the sunsets. How are you gonna survive then?”

Xiu blew into her hands to warm them as she said, ”Well, I'll just have to steel myself for this battle with cold then!”

With that, she had already walked ahead to the location which Dylan had chosen for his proposal. Dylan had picked the experienced individuals to do the work and most of it had already been done before Xiu arrived, all she had to do was look over the preparations and see if anything was missing or anything needed to be altered.

Gigi was standing at her side silently as she noticed how Xiu's whole persona changed when she ordered people around to move things around or set up everything according to her wishes. In fact, she couldn't find her previous playful version anywhere.

”You're not cold anymore?”

Xiu smiled at her slightly, ”My blood is boiling with excitement. How can I feel cold now?”

”Your mood swings are severe,” said Gigi and didn't continue as she let Xiu emerge in her role of bossing people around. She seemed to be very good at this role.

After Xiu was satisfied with the preparations, she heaved a sigh of relief and walked over the sandy beach and stood right where the ocean waves were close to her reach and yet couldn't touch her as she saw the sun setting leaving with orange hues. They say standing before an ocean gives way to a million dreams.

Oddly, Xiu was only reminded of one thing... Or rather only one person.

Rummaging out her phone, she sent a video call request and as soon as it connected, Darren's eyes only saw the vast ocean along with the beautiful sun sending a farewell kiss. His smile softened as he heard Xiu's voice, ”Dear husband, can you guess what's on my mind?”

”That it's a beautiful sunset,” answered Darren gently.

Xiu turned the camera angle and her face appeared on the screen. Her nose was adorably red from the cold wind and ever her cheeks had gotten a beautiful glow. Her eyes seemed moist as she sniffled before rubbing her nose.

”Although the sunset is beautiful, you aren't in my arms. How can it be complete?”
